forever and always(Leah Williamson)

Part 15

"I'll take it" I respond after a minute's silence "that is your decision and I support you Olivia" he now starts to explain that the game against reading will be my last here and I will leave to sign my contract with arsenal 2 days after. So I have 5 days. 5 days to pack my things and leave. 5 days to tell everyone. 5 days to tell Ella and alessia. No I need to tell them when I get home. "Thank you Olivia it has been a privilege to have you here playing for this team. Score us a last goal on Wednesday" he says as he shakes my hand "thank you Marc it has been a pleasure to have you as a manager, your the best." I say and I get up to head home. Once I get to my car I sit for a minute just staring at the wheel. This is real I'm actually moving to Arsenal. I'm so happy about this. But I'm also sad I loved this club so much.
Oh my god. Leah. Im actually going to be on her team. Fuck. She texted me earlier and I responded with such a dry comment. I open my phone and message her.

hey sorry about earlier I was just really stressed and shouldn't have taken it out on you.
About 5 minutes go by and I'm still sitting outside the training ground in my car preparing myself to go home.

'It's fine.' What's the full stop all about? Is she actually angry? Hmm let me see.

I'm with the girls just now I'll text you when I'm home

She's totally just avoided my question. Wtf is her problem. Just as I open instagram, Beth mead story pops up first so I click on it to see

Just what I need to see. Leah and Jordan. Why is she sitting on her knee. What even happened between them last time I heard they didn't even follow eachother?. I need to go home this day is just getting worse.

As I pull up in the driveway my stomach drops. Why am I so scared this is good for me. This move is good. As I enter the front door I see alessia sitting on the couch. Her head whips round and she gets up and walks towards me. "Where's Ella" I say to her  "in her room" she reply's "how'd it go" she says and I just hug her that's all I can think about doing right now hugging my best friend because I know that a week from now I won't be able to her her everyday. Ella walks in as we're hugging. "Can we sit down" I say to them and their faces drop as if they know what I'm about to say. They sit on the couch together and I sit on the other one to face them. "So i did get a few offers." "What clubs" Ella says , she sounds as if she's calmed down from earlier. I tell them a few teams and continue "Lyon also offered me a place but I chose not to take that as I don't think their the team for me. Second to last was Chelsea, and you guys know I would rather retire then go their" I say earning a quiet giggle from them both. "And the final offer was Arsenal" I say and pause for a minute both of the heads shooting towards me, they both know that I have always love that club. "This wasn't an easy decision to make at all, but I've decided to take it, so yeah I'm going to play for arsenal" I say even telling myself that sounds bizarre. "So your leaving" Ella says trying to understand what I've just said as alessia gets up and comes sits next to me on the couch bringing me in for another hug. "We support your decision Liv, I knew this wouldn't be easy but you knew what their offering you and if it's better than what you get here then that's a good thing, this is good for your career and will help you in the long run." Less says as my eyes start to water as I'm hugging her I look towards Ella who's head is in her hand and I can hear her sniffling. "Thank you guys, use are my best friends and nothings going to change we just won't be playing in the same team and I will always come up here and visit use." I get up to go over to Ella, as I sit next to her she hugs me tightening her grip around me. I knew this wasn't going to be easy on her she hates change. But I do know she will eventually understand. "At least you'll be playing will your lover" she whispers in my ear earning a laugh. I explain to them what Marc explained to me about my last game and when I will be leaving.

"Why don't we have a movie night." Alessia requests "yeah that sounds good" Ella responds. I love these girls so much and I know that it's going to be hard away from them but this is what I need to do. We all get changed into our pjs and set up some lights for the movie.
